    The Birth of Bohr
    Niels Bohr was born October 07, 1885. He studied the laws and fundamental properties of energy, matter, space and time or more commonly known as a physicist. His love for science probably came from him father who taught physiology at the University of Copenhagen. His father was also nominated for a Nobel Prize, twice. Picture: Young Niels Bohr

    On this date, Margrethe Norlund and Niels Bohr married. They continue on to have six sons. One of the sons, Aage N. Bohr followed in his fathers footsteps to study science and they share 1/3 of 1975 Nobel Prize. Picture: Niehls Bohr and his son, Aage N. Bohr.

    One of biggest and more world shifting contributions to the world of science by Niels Bohr was the atomic bomb, actually he started with just an atomic model. After discovering ways to split an atom, Bohr was aware he could create an atomic bomb but he decided against and spoke in Denmark basically saying, it would not be feasible until after the war.

    Bohr learned he was wanted by the Germans for his knowledge on atomic bombs and would be potentially arrested. He immediately fled to Sweden and then extended an invitation to England to help the allies. He accepted. Once he arrived, he was then relocated to Los Alamos, New Mexico where the atomic bomb was built over weeks. Picture: Atomic Explosion

  • End of Bohr

    End of Bohr
    Bohr left behind a lot of major contributions to science and how the world works today. He also left behind a major institute which is one of the best institutes to study theoretical physics named the Niels Bohr Institute.
